Music: Peter Brötzmann UK Trio, Jina & Black Bonds

Peter Brötzmann UK Trio
Brötzmann is among the most important European free jazz musicians; his rough, lyrical timbre is easily recognised on his many recordings. He’s been make albums since 1967, including a flirtation with jazz fusion and noise rock with Last Exit. This will be his only UK gig. Before that there is a screening of Bernard Josse and Gérard Rouy’s Soldier Of The Road.
Green Door Store, Sun 13 Jan, 4pm (film), 6pm (gig)
Jina
Equally aggressive and sensual band from France, inhabiting the worlds of grunge and punk, but crucially with melodies. The core of Jina is made up of duo Jeane (vocals) and Clem (guitar). Just one of three UK dates.
